Bayard Rustin Bobo MS “September 31st” Date Anomaly
December 1956 Liberation prints Bayard Rustin recounting the Montgomery bus protest at a county-wide song contest at Mt. Moria Baptist near Bobo, Mississippi. The printed date is “September 31st” — an impossible date, visually verified — so the actual day remains unresolved.
Craft lock (GPT-6 Sol): essay is Rustin’s account, not an independently dated programme. Impossible calendar date is a print anomaly, not a reconstructed event day.
